Depending on what the documents look like, you might be better off OCRing them, correcting the markup (and typos) in a word processor, and then making th he accessible PDF.
You get a better PDF and recover the source file.

Angela;

I think that you might have to go in through Acrobat and manually add tags.
I have had to do this with a document and it is not fun. I would be very
interested to see if someone else has a better idea.
